This year we’re offering UU Compass, a multi-generational small group (teens through adults) based on the Starting Point curriculum from Soul Matters.
Spring Dates: January 25, February 22, March 22, April 10, May 31
Together, we’ll practice deep listening, share our personal journeys, and explore Unitarian Universalism as a living path of meaning and connection.
Together we’ll:
Explore Our Journeys – reflect on our own spiritual paths and what brought us here.
Discover Our Tradition – learn the unfolding story of Unitarian Universalism through the lens of healing disconnection.
Build Connections – practice the deep listening and sharing that make small groups so life-giving in UU congregations.
Find Our Next Step – discern how each of us can walk more deeply with this community, whether as a newcomer or a longtime member.
Who is UU Compass for?
Newcomers who want more than information — a real taste of UU community.
Long-time members seeking to reconnect with UU values and practices.
Teens and adults alike, eager to walk together across generations.
Whether you’re brand new or have been here for decades, UU Compass will help you find your bearings, discover companions, and chart the next step of your journey.
Facilitators: Kristin R. with Nathaniel B.
